Many SST papers can be found

Library
(Manuscripts: MS
883). There are programmes and other administrative papers for nearly every
conference, and all the plenary papers from 1972 are held in the archive.
There are abstracts
for
plenary papers from 1970 and
1971, and copies
of Ian Ramsey's paper from 1969 and Gerhard Ebeling's paper from 1955.

SST exists...

...to promote excellence in the study of Christian Theology by facilitating
and shaping
theological thought, conversation and community.

In particular, the Society's object is
to identify and discuss
important themes, questions and dialogues
which call for theological engagement;
and to explore the nature of and foster
theological integrity, responsibility and vocation
in academy, church and other areas of public life.
